GOVERNMENT REPLY TO CRITICISM
MILLION PUT BACK TO
WORK IN BRITAIN
London, July 9.
The House of Commons to-day rejected by a vote of 450 to 76 the Labour motion of censure directed against the Government's alleged lack of constructive policy in dealing with the unemployment question and the dis tressed areas,
The Government speakers declared that the motion failed to produce a plan to deal with unemployment and was therefore useless.
Mr. David Lloyd George, Sir Herbert Samuel and other Opposition Liberals, supported the Labourites in one of the heaviest divisions of the present session of Parliament-Renter.
